I think my problem is that I'm using cheap cutting wheels. They weren't
coming loosse from the saw, the wheel itself was tearing off of the center
metal piece attached to it.
I do have a table saw. Sort of. It's an old one that I got from someone
that needs to be refurbished. It pretty much just needs to be cleaned and
lubricated, then I can add a motor and put it in a table. It's one of the
number of projects that had been put on the back burner but I guess I
should knock that out so I can get back to etching some boards for my
other projects.

If you have a table saw with a carbide tipped blade, you can make
pretty quick work of cutting it all down to size.
